BMW 328 vs. Dodge Challenger Review

Utility
The Dodge Challenger will most certainly prove friendlier than the BMW 328 for those of you with frequent kid-cargo.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, the Dodge Challenger is a legitimate sports car. When it comes to horsepower, the Dodge Challenger packs quite a punch and will knock the 328 down a few rungs. However, keep in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Dodge than the 328 because of its bigger tank. The BMW 328 and the Dodge Challenger compete for the same parking spaces. The 328's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a nimbler feel in daily traffic than the Dodge Challenger.

Convenience
You'll most definitely take the BMW 328 for a fill-up almost as often as the Dodge Challenger.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Dodge is substantially cheaper to get to the dealership than the 328. The Dodge Challenger won't tax your gas budget substantially more than the BMW will. The BMW won't save you much money at the pump compared to the Dodge Challenger. Regarding MSRP, the BMW 328 costs significantly more than the Dodge Challenger.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Challenger and the BMW most certainly handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Challenger has a more sizeable engine than the BMW 328. Keep in mind that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but smaller engines can be stressed more. Torque equals pickup, and the Dodge will have picked up and gone by the time the BMW 328 finally gets moving.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Dodge Challenger offers a bit more head room than the BMW 328, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The BMW 328 is not particularly more spacious for your passengers than the Dodge.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Dodge Challenger isn't quite as generous as the BMW's.
